Rajiv Shukla revealed
Talking to ANI, Rajiv Shukla said, ‘I want to tell everyone that we all feel the lack of Virat and Rohit but both the players themselves have taken this decision. The BCCI policy is that we never tell any player to retire from when and from which format. It is above the player when they have to retire. Both these players also decided thoughtfully. We will always miss their deficiency and we will always consider him a good batsman. The good thing for us is that both players will be available for all ODI matches.
The performance of both these players has always been very good by Team India. He has won the hearts of fans by batting in all the formats. Currently, Team India is playing a Test series against England and both these players are enjoying the holiday with their families.
When will Rohit-Virat return?
The good news for Indian fans is that such a report is coming out that there is talk about the white ball series between BCCI and Sri Lanka cricket in the mid of August 2025. If this series is there, then Virat and Rohit can be seen playing in ODI cricket. Earlier, both these players from Team India were seen together in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Now the fans will also be hoping that the white ball series between Sri Lanka cricket and India should be confirmed and both these players were seen performing in it.
